Algorithms are more than equations. They redefine us.
A few years back, rumor had it that a multinational technology company was making
great strides to finalize and implement a computerized hiring tool. Using artificial
intelligence (AI), the program scored job applicants on a scale of 1 to 5 and predicted
which of the top candidates would be best for the job.

On the cover: Artificial intelligence and machine learning are here to stay. Beyond your Netflix
queue, they affect who hires you, whether you get a loan, where you shop (if you get
that loan). What do these human-made equations reflect back to us? And how do humans
remain in the driver's seat?
